Taoist tradition

Taoist tradition is an ancient Chinese philosophy emphasizing harmony with the natural order, called the Tao (or Dao). It advocates for living simply, spontaneously, and in tune with nature’s flow, valuing inner peace and balance. Central concepts include wu wei (effortless action), humility, and compassion. Taoism influences spiritual practices, medicine, art, and culture, encouraging individuals to find harmony within themselves and with the universe. It promotes understanding that life is a continuous, interconnected process, inviting followers to embrace change and cultivate serenity amidst life's ebbs and flows.
